What Are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are simply metal posts with a false tooth on top. They are integrated into a patient's jawbone fusing together with the bone over time to form a strong, long-lasting replacement tooth.

The longevity and predictability of implants are directly related to good oral hygiene and regular check up appointments. Check ups should be done at least once a year. In order to make a diagnosis first we need a panoramic X Ray to see the density of the bone, the maxillary, and the lower dental conduct.

Once the doctor determines this factors, two appointments are needed; the first one to put the implants in, which is done in the dental office, and it takes no longer than two hours, depending on the number of implants needed.

The second one within six months, this is the length of time the implant takes to integrate completely to the bone to make the proper prosthesis. Implants function like natural teeth, and that includes being susceptible to gum disease.

The prosthesis depends on your case . if you are missing a single tooth, you need a crown and one implant.

If missing two or more teeth you might need a bridge which will be hold by two or three implants; if the hole set of dentures is missing we could put six implants to hold a bridge of fourteen porcelain crowns or just two and a bar to dip it on your denture.
